Chapter 607 Proper disposal

From leading the army to conquer and dealing with government affairs, to observing the words and expressions to checking for himself, among the princes, Li Shimin is the most satisfied with Gao Ming. He was very satisfied with Chen Wanfu's punishment. Shubao was right. There were not many brothers in the Qin Palace, so he could protect one. Li Shimin didn't want to live alone. When he couldn't walk, he couldn't even talk!

What satisfied Li Shimin even more was the strong combat effectiveness shown by Liushi during the Western Expedition. According to the Ministry of War, the casualties of the casualties were as high as 5 to 1. Fortunately, such a strong army was led by the Royal Guards, otherwise Li Shimin would not even sleep in the Daming Palace. The rewards for the Western Expedition were over, and the New Year was over, and all the rewards should be rewarded, so his son must not be left behind!

Therefore, after discussing with important officials such as Fang and Du, Li Shimin issued an "surprising" imperial edict, which made the court officials who were worried about the loss of national reserves two days ago understand instantly. What fears the forces of the Eastern Palace and what adds to the abolition and establishment are all imagined by everyone. If the emperor really wants to do the abolition and establishment, would he forcefully expand his strength to the Eastern Palace despite the opposition of several important officials?

However, among the ministers discussed in court, Cen Wenben and Zhang Liang supported the emperor's decision in an abnormal manner and quarreled: Fair rewards and punishments for military merits are the prerequisites for the strong combat effectiveness of our Tang army to remain unchanged for twenty years. It is true that the crown prince is the crown prince, but he is also a general of the court. If you have such great achievements, how can you explain to the 200,000 Western Expedition Army and to the six-leading soldiers who died in battle......

In the East Palace, Linde Hall, when Du Ruhui came with the imperial edict, Li Chengqian was reviewing this chapter of the spring exam preparations. It was really shocked that Lao Du made such a formal show. Staring at the fog, Li Chengqian could only kneel down and hear what was going on!

Du Ruhui opened the imperial edict with a serious expression and respectfully recited: The Crown Prince Chengqian, Feng Wei and handsome, intelligent and Shenwu, destroyed the Turks, attacked Tuyuhun and performed military achievements. Now he defeated Tubo in Songzhou, beheaded more than 100,000 troops, Bu’s military power in the southwest, and promoted the country’s prestige in the world. In fact, he immediately restored the organization of the Eastern Palace Military Office at the beginning of Wude, and added the left and right clan guards, left and right Yuhou. The organization was compared with the six routes, and the assistants were appointed by the Eastern Palace themselves."

When Li Chengqian heard this imperial edict, he looked at Lao Du in surprise. Before he could raise his questions, the old guy quickly put the imperial edict into his arms and whispered: "It's appropriate to deal with it." Then he waved his hand and brought the clerk with him, and the eunuch went back to hand in the office.

Old Du left without a stick of incense. Changsun Wuji and Dou Kuan came together, without saying anything, and did not do anything. They held the teapot and started to pour it. It seemed that the two were very anxious. Li Chengqian also smiled and sat back, waiting for them patiently.

After wiping his face with his sleeve, Dou Kuan immediately said, "Your Highness, you have to express your remarks quickly. Just now in Zichen Hall, the two princesses in the house and Du were almost changing their minds, but Cen Wenben and Zhang Liang were singing high-profile, and encouraged His Majesty to issue an order quickly.

I'm still saying that if you don't praise Your Highness, you'll have lost the hearts of 200,000 soldiers in the Western Expedition. Is this really human words? Isn't this clear saying that Your Highness has self-respecting troops and is proud of his merits? Is it shameless to give me something shameless, and when I go back, I ask the officials of the Ministry of Integrity to check the bastards' minions and kill him to give them a long memory."

Dou Kuan knew in his heart that even though he knew that Cen Wenben and Zhang Liang were ill-involved, the Eastern Palace was doing what they did on the openly, and who made these two bastards Jian Zai Dixin? So he planned to show the dog to the owner and let the two princes know that they were not able to take advantage of any loopholes.

After Dou Kuan finished speaking, Changsun Wuji took the words and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the two guys are thinking, the most urgent task is to dare to express their opinions. You cannot let Your Highness leave words in front of the world that are proud and respectful.

Otherwise, if there is a villain who is always on the verge of wind, even if Your Majesty believes in you, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no misunderstandings. Moreover, the military system that limits the six-rate has been fully considered. After His Highness entered the Eastern Palace, he has already gained a lot. You should not be greedy!"

Then Changsun Wuji talked to Li Chengqian about the organization of the Eastern Palace army again. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the ten-rank of the Eastern Palace were established in accordance with the old system of the former Sui Dynasty: the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the total of ten guards, among which the crown prince's left and right guards, the left and right guards, the crown prince's left and right guards, and the crown prince's left and right guards did not govern the government soldiers. They were the personal soldiers directly under the crown prince, and they were directly controlled by him.

The fifty army leaders of the Eastern Palace had 50,000 soldiers, and the number of soldiers was about 8,000 to 10,000 at the same time. The three guards, the inner guards, and the sect should be the heroes of the Yuan Dynasty or the descendants of the sect. From the perspective of the establishment, they were completely a small sixteen guards.

Of course, this is also to allow the state to have sufficient military power to control the court when the national crown prince ascends the throne. This is to add an additional insurance for the alternation of imperial power. When Prince Yang Zhao of Yuande was in the Eastern Palace, the establishment of the Eastern Palace was like this. The only difference is that the left and right sects of the inner court guards were the left and right internal government officials. At that time, the left and right imperial guards were called the left and right imperial guards, and the army was also organized by the royal family and the sons of the heroes.

Later, when Emperor Taiwu appointed Pei Ji to seize military power, he deliberately eliminated the four guards in charge of the safety of the inner court of the Eastern Palace in order to show no ambition and reassure Emperor Taiwu. After Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin became the crown prince and still adopted this military system. The reason why he did not make any changes was that he had no power anymore and that he wanted to leave a good model for Li Chengqian.

What is unexpected is that the prince Li Chengqian, who would have thought that he, who grew up in the hands of women and children, was so good at fighting, and forged the six-pointer who stood guard and kept the watch, and had to form a powerful force that was victorious in every battle, and his combat power was not inferior to that of the Xuanjia Army.

You should know that the six-rates in the past were all the soldiers in the palace, but now all the six-rates are recruiting soldiers. Although the strength is similar, it is completely incomparable. Furthermore, it is not wrong for the prince to reduce the guards in the inner court to show his loyalty because of his sensitive taboos. However, the emperor later asked him to establish a guard with the children of the royal family as the foundation, which was already great to the heavenly aspirations.
